perfume whisperer
Holy moly. I have found my radiance holy grails, and it’s no surprise they are from Chanel *clouds part* and Bobbi Brown *cue angels chorus*. Chanel Le Blanc de Chanel is an “illuminating base”, designed primarily as a primer, with the added benefit of adding a glow. It is silicone free, but does have some…
These are my bathroom shelf heroes right now. Weak nails? You need to try the Trind Keratin Nail Treatment. Read more about my thoughts here. You need this. I finally “get” the excitement around Embryolisse Lait Creme Concentrate. It’s silky and rich, and moisturizes without adding grease. Used as a makeup base or as a boost to whatever…
We all love Bobbi Brown cosmetics because she knows what flatters. She isn’t breaking ground with crazy colours, which I love too, but instead she is simply grounding. Find what flatters you, and have fun with it. And of course, pink is a universally flattering colour that, in the right shade, makes everyone looks amazing….
I don’t wear a lot of make up, but I do enjoy owning a lot. I usually fall in love with something, wear it right away, or stash it and wear it when I rediscover it in my drawer. Or, I become obsessed with something I Must Own, get it, and use it every day…
I regularly change up the contents of the make up bag in my purse. I am still a huge fan of the leather pouches from American Apparel Carry All Pouch – they feel substantial and well made. I like the ones with nice heavy gold zippers, they add a luxe feel that you don’t get…
Bobbi Brown is known for her natural and easy to wear make up. She is all about emphasizing our best features, and not coating us in layers of make up we don’t want or need. Which I love. I also love her simple and soft perfumes. Bobbi Brown Beach is a summertime classic, and I…
Even though I am obsessed with beauty, I don’t spend a lot of time getting ready in the morning. Reason? Laziness, perhaps? Also, as time goes by, I find I don’t like the feeling of a lot of stuff on my face. But, like anyone, I like to look polished, bright eyed and as radiant…
Oh Bobbi Brown- you and your beautifully tempting colour palettes designed to make anyone look like themselves, only more polished. I love Bobbi’s aesthetic and style. I have always abhorred the overly made up look (well, except in the 80s….) and her “less is more” and “emphasize your best features” philosophy works for me perfectly. In…
I’m nothing if not a woman of broad tastes. I can appreciate vintage Guerlain Aprés L’Ondee parfum, swoon over it’s heartbreaking beauty while weeping over it’s unavailability while I watch bottles as rare as gems sell for many thousands on ebay. But, I am not a perfume snob, and I can appreciate something that makes…
